UFC on Fuel 3, May 15th

[Ludo]

I don't know that I would call Cerrone inconsistent, it's just that he came up against someone who was fully able and willing to put constant pressure on him and not allow him to create the distance necessary to get his rhythm going from the start. The only inconsistent performance of late from Cerrone was Paul Kelly, but we've discussed that before.

What do you have to say about the Paul Kelly fight?

[Ludo]

In My opinion the fact that Kelly attempted a cheap shot at the beginning when he pretended to want to touch gloves may have thrown Cerrone off his game or just made Cerrone emotionally invested during the fight.

He also found out his Grandfather died right before the fight

[edman5555]

Ah I see.

What do you guys think about KZ/poirier?
I have a feeling that Poirier is going to be way to much for KZ. I see no way for KZ to win that fight.Poirier just looks better everywhere. I think Poirier at -288 is cheap, but since the line as been getting better since it started at -350, I am wondering if I should wait to see if the line will get better or worse

[MMA_scientist]

I see it the same way, easy win for Poirier IMO.

[SPX]

SHOULD be an easy win for Poirier . . . but then again, it should've been an easy win for Hominick, too.

well to me, Hominick as never looked really that consistent. I also still think that hominick is a better fighter than KZ. He just got caught

I orginally thought Stephens would be a good bet but the more I think about it I think Cerrone will win. Cerrone/Poirer parlay looks good. Here is the full card:

MAIN CARD (FUEL TV)

• Dustin Poirier vs. Chan Sung Jung
• Jorge Lopez vs. Amir Sadollah
• Donald Cerrone vs. Jeremy Stephens
• Jeff Hougland vs. Yves Jabouin
• Fabio Maldonado vs. Igor Pokrajac
• Tom Lawlor vs. Jason MacDonald

PRELIMINARY CARD (Facebook)*

• Marcus LeVesseur vs. Cody McKenzie
• Brad Tavares vs. Dongi Yang
• T.J. Grant vs. Carlo Prater
• Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Kamal Shalorus
• Jeff Curran vs. Johnny Eduardo
• Azamat Gashimov vs. Alex Soto

[poopoo333]

Lopez @ +odds may be a good bet, I finally realized Amir isn't that good.

Lawlor is going to beat MacDonald.

T.J. Grant and RDA are going to win. I usually like betting on the wrestler but Kamal is pretty bad. The lock of the card is definitely Grant though.

[MMA_scientist]

Agreed, Grant should win that. Prater has a good ground game, he just doesn't have the athleticism to strike with guys like Grant. Grant should have enough to avoid the submission from Prater.

Poirier/Grant

I have less confidence in Lawlor, I think JMac might beat him.

[poopoo333]

These fuel cards really fly under the radar. This shit is coming up quick.

[poopoo333]

And I also like this card for betting. The only wild card out of the favorites (or presumed favorites) is Cerrone. But I think Stephens is a little overrated anyways.

[MMA_scientist]

I am starting to find the motivation to gamble again. So... I am about to start actually doing homework again.

Stephens is overrated, but I still don't trust Cerrone... I don't think he is that great either.
